Smile.

Flashing someone a smile may seem like such a simplistic gesture but it could be so much more than that. A smile can completely change the course of one's day. I know there are days when I'm surrounded by negativity and go into Walmart and the cashier gives me a sincere smile...It makes me feel so much better, and yet they have no clue! It seems like smiling is just something we do subconsciously, which in some cases that may be...But I think it's much more than that....I think smiles are God's way of letting us know that everything is going to be okay...That there will be better days than this...It's a way of showing people we care about them, or love them...And some days when I'm in a crappy "get out of my way or I might punch you" mood if I just smile, it even makes me feel better...I know it sounds absolutely ridiculous, but I have at times looked in the mirror and just smiled at myself....So cheesy right?...But something inside me comes to realize that my facial expressions say a lot....If I just walk around grimacing constantly or just blank staring, it can come off as rude....So I try and smile a lot to make others, as well as myself, happy....Some days it works, and others, not so much...But it's okay!...It's still better than having a hateful look stamped on myself...Anyway, that was just on my mind today...Lets try and smile more, make someone's day :)
